Bouquet
On a strange land exists this strange garden...
Taken care by a sweet and lovely maiden.
The best of all in her collection of flowers,
Is a charming, gold petal sun flower
With all other flowers, it begins to fight,
When it sees then sharing the sun's light.
Then there is a single, five petal black rose
With thorns more poisonous than a venoms dose.
A lotus there thinks it is the only flower that's perfect
Its movement along the waves is its only defect.
In her own world exist the peaceful lily,
Not bothering why others fight when weather is chilly.
Standing alone in one corner is the night queen,
Only in the dark times this angelic flower is seen.
It blooms in the night, turning it into a perfect day,
Giving others hope and ending its own life in dismay...
